BORDER OUTRAGE.
A Wealthy Man Arrested and Held
for Ransom.


CoRPUs CHRISTI, Tex, Sept. 2s.A
News has reached here from the lower
Rio Grande country giving articulars
of daring outrage perpetrated on
resident of one e'of the border counties.
On the 18th of September Juan Garcia
Barrera, a rich ranchman, while short
distance from his home, situated be-
tween Las Tederalis and La Gozalina,
was surrounded by five desperados and
robbed of $500. He was then taken
across the river into Mexico. and there
closely guarded. Barrera's captors COM
PEELED him to write to his family, nOti<
flying them that unless they immedi-
ately raised and paid to an Individual
named by the letter the sum of $4,000
by Sept. Is, he would be shot. Upon re-
ceipt of the letter Barrera'S son
promptly paid the sum demanded, and
the prisoner was set at liberty and re-
turned home. He says he was kept
blindfolded during his detention, and
when his captors received information
that the money demanded for his re-
lease had been paid, he was escorted to
the river above Renosa and mounted on
horseback; the handkerchief was then
removed and he was told to go. During
his detention he was kept in dense
thicket only traversed by narrow paths,
so narrow that horses were unable to
get through, the pathway being closed
with blankets stretched across it. While
thus confined Mr.. Barrera said there
must have been thirty or forty different
persons visited the place, all of them
undoubtedly connected with the band.

The Anarchists, Case.

New YORK, Sept. 2s.-Capt. Black
and his associate, Moses Solomon, fin
ished their examination of the papers in
the anarchists case with Gen. Pryor and
started for Chicago yesterday. Their
movements were not known to their So
cialist and anarchist friends here, for
large number of them went to the So
cialists' library last night expecting to
hear Capt. Black speak, and were, of
course, disappointed. 1t is generally
understood that it was through the i'm
reference of Capt. Black that George
Francis Trains exposure of the doings
of Wall street did not take place. Capt.
Black said that the wild rawlings of
speakers in New York had greatly pre-
JUDGED the case of his clients.

IOWA'S LIQUOR WAR.
Constables Indicted at Des Moines
for Assault


DEs MONIES, To-, Sept. 2s.-The
grand jury to-day returned an indict-
ment of assault with intent to commit
murder against Constable Potts and his
assistant, Hamilton. These are two of
the cOnStableS who have made them
selves so obnoxious in their alleged at
temptS to enforce the prohibition law in
Des Moines. The affair for which they
are indicted occurred on the 18th of Au-
gust. A man named John Harvey had
small keg of beer in the barn which
he and some comrades had bought
by contributions an d were engaged in
drinking when Potts raided them and
took what was left of it. There is no
evidence to show that he had warrant
commanding the seizure, neither was it
charged that the beer was obtained for
illegal purposes. Potts merely took it
and walked off. Afterwards he claimed
to have sworn out a warrant for Har-
tey'S arrest and when he and Hamilton
attempted to serve it, an alteration ell
sued, and at this stage the testimony
becomes conflicting. Some witnesses
aver that Hartley refused to go and
seized base ball bat with which he adj
menacing attitude and that
they then drew their revolverS
Equally credible witnesses say that
Potts and Hamilton first drew their
weapons and that afterwards Hartley
seized the club. The result of the melee
was that Hartley disarmed both the
constables, but not until they had seri-
Ously wounded him and an innocent by
stander who had emerged from gro
Gerry store near by to see what was the
matter. On a preliminary hearing the
case against the constables was dis
missed by Prohibition justice. The
county attorney presented the matter to
the grand jury and had a difficult job to
get true bill. Two ultra Prohibition
members demanded dismissal of the
case. and only consented that an indict-
ment should be returned at all when it
was agreed that an Indictment should be
returned against Hartley for resisting an
officer. The constableS gave bail in

THE PRESIDENT.
Gossip About His Trip and His
CAPACITY For Work.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-The politi-
clans are looking with a good deal of in
terest to President Cleveland's trip and
the things he may say while on it. Of
course he will be called upon to make
an immense number of speeches on the
trip. and they are wondering if he will
succeed in getting through with all OF
them without any mistakes. Some OF
them are already predicting that he is
going to find the trip an improbable
one from political standpoint, and
that instead of Strengthening him it will
nomination. 1t may be added, however,
that they base this view on the belief
that no man can get through long trip
of this sort and make the speeches he
has to make without making some mis-
takes. If he does do so, however, they
admit that it will do him good. A curl
Gus story comes to the surface here in
that connection. 1t is to the effect that
Secretary Lamar is engaged in writing
speeches for the president at his summer
retreat up in New Hampshire. To those
who know the presidents methods of
work this is not very reasonable story.
There probably has not been a preSi-
dent since the days of shorthand and
amanuensis and labor-saying devices of
this sort, who has done as much of his
own work as President Cleveland. He
writes everything with his own hand,
and is in fact perfect slave to this
absurd idea. He drudges. He does
acres of writing with his own hand
which he could just as well do through
an amanuensis. He seems to like hard
work, and enjoys doing all his work
with his own hand as well as head. 1t
is not probable, therefore, that he is in
trusting the details of his speeches to
anybody else. unless, perhaps, it may
belthe collation. of some facts to be used
in them. Yet is probable that if any
body is to be. selected for this purpose
Secretary Lamar would be the man, for
the president has very high opinion
of him.
The lawyers of this city say the presi-
dent is an excellent lawyer. They have
occasion to see his Judgment displayed
on:many points of law, as pointed out
in his decisions. In these, they say, he
evinces good deal of ability as a care
full and able lawyer. A prominent
member of the bar here, who had occa-
sion to submit brief to him not long
ago, o,tells me he was struck with the clear
ness and force of the points which the
president made in a hasty examination

An Article Which Agitates Church
of England PeopIe.

Oh EnSidIfu FCODic.
LONDON, Sept. 2s.-An article has re-
Gently appeared in one of the leading
weekly religious journals in London
which has caused quite a stir among
cnurchmem general and has attracted
the attention OF the daily newspapers.
1t is by prominent vicar of a.parish
not far from London, and reviews the
rapid advancement of high church doc
trineS and of ritualism. The writer of
the article, clearly ranging himself on
the side of the followers of the advanced
theories, declares that the prepheSies
made when persecution was most bitter
agaidSt the adherentS of the cause are
now being realized. ''When Lord Pen
zance set up his court" says he, ''and
condemned earnest men to Jail for their
consciences' sake, the seeds of the
glorious cause were planted more fully,
and then it was propheSied that the very
prosecutions which were so unjust
would be the means of spreading the
doctrine and aiding the cause. When
Father MachOnOche was impriSOned,''
continues he, ''an impetus was given to
the cause that it otherwise might have
waited years for.'' He then describes
the work at st. Peters, London docks,
and says that large numbers have been
converted from Roman Catholicism
through the mediations of this parish.
He attributes a large share of this ad-
vancement to the persecution which the
cause received when it first started the
English church, and AYERS that the
church has come out of its lethargy and
awakened to a sense of its own worth.
The writer laments the conservatism of
what he calls the high and dry church.

Special to the Globe.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-The Minnesota
veterans in to-day's parade numbered
$50. They marched through the rain
and in the mud from the beginning to
the end. Department Commander
Wheelock was i'll charge, with Adj. Gen.
Bradene assisting. The Owatonna and
Plumber posts drum corps furnished
the music. Comrade Seebold, of st.
Paul, was the standard bearer and was
one of the longest men in
the line. DR.. Murphy, of ST. Paul,
Past Commander Thomas, of MOnnoto:.
Senior Vice Commander Jefferson. of
Duluth, and Comrade Bloomer, Of Still
water, the last three, one-legged veter-
ans, rode in carriages, but the remainder
were OH foot. A funny incident of the
march was that DR.. Murphy was every
where mistaken for old War Gov.
Ramsey. He was cheered more OF less
all along the line, someone starting it
with: ''There goes Old Alick.' DR..
Murphy would bow very politely in
response to all these salutations. sIll
apologize to Gov. Ramsey when !

FL. Reed, of Glencoe, who is an
excellent singer, charmed the sidewalks
with his martial melodies. He led the
crowd in singing "Marching Through
Georgia" and other favorites. G. w,
johnson, of ST. Paul, was another good
singer. Joseph II. Drake had severe

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The Franco-Ger-
man frontier incident is still an open
question,and to all appearances the Ger
man government are seeking to eXcul-
pate themselves, and to justify Kauf-
mann for the fatal shots. 1t is strongly
limited that Germany will find in this
affair an excellent opportunity to 60 to
war again with France-nOt that Bis
narck will set the war on foot, for to do
this would lose for him the title of
''peacemaker:'' but that, secretly long
ing for chance to teach Frenchmen a
lesson, he will allow matters to drift
along until French blood, too
hot to contain itself in silence,
Will demand reparation from
Germany by means of arms. Then
Bismarck, still retaining his reputation
for inotfensiveness, can say, "Well,
did not want to fight, but the French
precipitated the conflict, and if the war
comes it will be this time to the death. -
The agitation over this event, coupled
with the rumOr that President Grevy
VIII resign, complicates matters greatly.
1t is thought to be certain now that NJ.
Grevy will resign his Office. The
eighty years lie carrie sweigh upon him
and he will hardly be able to bear the
strain. of public Office if the storm
towards which France is hurrying
actually bursts upon the nation.
NOTES FROM ABROAD.
1t is rumOred that Col. Sir West Ridg-
way, lately returned from his duties as
head of the commission to settle the
Afghan boundaries, will assume the of
fee of permanent secretary to Ireland,
resigned by Sir RedverS Butler.
Charles Hengles, the well-known cir

Mrs. Jeffreys, who was arrested
charged with keeping brothel, has
been unable to secure bondsmen for her
bail, which is $1,000, and which the
magistrate refuses to reduce. 1t is said
that if the case goes to trial the woman
will summon as witnesses many promi-
nent men, from princes down.

PLAN OF BASEMENT.

There are only two entrances, stair
way leading down into the kitchen from
the main corridor on the floor above, and
the door which opens directly from the
street into the basement corridor on the
north side. Heavy iron doors in the
east end of the cellar, which are never
used, can be opened into the excavation
beneath the cell rooms of the prisoners.
Two incandescent lights are usually
kept lighted in the basement. One of
these hangs in the center of the corridor,
between the doors opening to the kitchen
and dining room; and the other hangs
in the cellar, close by the entrance from
the corridor. Sheriff Richter testifies
that the light in the cellar was burning
when he entered, but that the light in
the corridor was not, leaving the hall
way almost dark. Graham brushed
by him and ran out along
the corridor, falling close by
the door opening to the street, which
was locked. The sheriff, when he fired,
stood about twenty feet away, and the
ball entered near Graham's left temple.
The sheriff was recalled when the jury
returned to the. morgue, and Thomas
Lyle, the cOlored juryman, asked:
Did this man formerly work for your
"Yes sir, year and half, or something
like that. He was janitor.''
"How long since you discharged hims''
81 think about two months"
That is all Mr.. Lyle asked the witness,
but when a GLOBE reporter inquired of
the sheriff why he discharged Graham,
he replied:
Because he insulted my wife and
daughters"
MORE TESTIMONY.
Sol Hall, the cOlored janitor at the
city hall, next took the stand. Hall
testified that he met Graham in Chris
Peters saloon, opposite the Jail, about 8
O'Clock Tuesday morning. When he en-
tered the saloen Graham was playing
.'pedro pitch" with Peters and Mr..
Overton. He says:
There was white man in there at the
time. don't know his name. but / have
heard it since-he is the night watchman at
the jail. He was buying pitcher of beer
and he said something to Tim, don't know
what. Then Tim asked me to take his hand
and play, saying he would be back in a few
minutes The white man. with the pitcher of
beer went out and Tim went out after him.
Tim came back shortly and insisted on my
playing his hand some more. Then this same
white man came in and went to the bar. l
